Open-source & third-party licenses

Last updated: 2026-09-15 (draft)
This page is best-effort convenience, not the compliance record. MIT's copyright-and-permission-notice requirement attaches to the distributed software, and is satisfied inside the app itself at Grown-Ups Zone → About → Licenses, which renders from THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md in the app's repository. This page mirrors that file's structure so the two never drift, and adds a second section for the website's own dependencies, which the app list does not cover. This page mirrors THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md in the Yodelope repository, which is the source of truth; it should be updated whenever that file is updated.

Summary in plain language

  • Yodelope's own code is MIT-licensed. It's built in part on UltraStar Play, also MIT-licensed — nothing from the GPL-licensed UltraStar Deluxe or Vocaluxe is used anywhere.
  • The three fonts (Fredoka, Nunito, Andika) are all SIL Open Font License 1.1.
  • This website serves those same three fonts from this site — no third-party font request is made.
  • This page never lists song content — no community-sourced song ships in Yodelope, so there's nothing of that kind to attribute.

In the app

The components below ship inside the Yodelope app. This list mirrors THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md as of this writing; a full dependency license scan is required before ship to confirm it's complete — Unity packages and NuGet libraries in particular may add entries. This list mirrors THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md in the Yodelope repository. Update both this page and the in-app screen whenever the dependency scan is re-run before submission.

UltraStar Play MIT Code

The UltraStar .txt song-format importer is written against the format UltraStar Play documents. No GPL-licensed UltraStar Deluxe or Vocaluxe code is used anywhere in this project.

SIL Open Font License 1.1 Full text — applies to all 3 fonts above
-----------------------------------------------------------
SIL OPEN FONT LICENSE Version 1.1 - 26 February 2007
-----------------------------------------------------------

PREAMBLE
The goals of the Open Font License (OFL) are to stimulate worldwide
development of collaborative font projects, to support the font creation
efforts of academic and linguistic communities, and to provide a free and
open framework in which fonts may be shared and improved in partnership
with others.

The OFL allows the licensed fonts to be used, studied, modified and
redistributed freely as long as they are not sold by themselves. The
fonts, including any derivative works, can be bundled, embedded,
redistributed and/or sold with any software provided that any reserved
names are not used by derivative works. The fonts and derivatives,
however, cannot be released under any other type of license. The
requirement for fonts to remain under this license does not apply
to any document created using the fonts or their derivatives.

DEFINITIONS
"Font Software" refers to the set of files released by the Copyright
Holder(s) under this license and clearly marked as such. This may
include source files, build scripts and documentation.

"Reserved Font Name" refers to any names specified as such after the
copyright statement(s).

"Original Version" refers to the collection of Font Software components as
distributed by the Copyright Holder(s).

"Modified Version" refers to any derivative made by adding to, deleting,
or substituting -- in part or in whole -- any of the components of the
Original Version, by changing formats or by porting the Font Software to a
new environment.

"Author" refers to any designer, engineer, programmer, technical
writer or other person who contributed to the Font Software.

PERMISSION & CONDITIONS
Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining
a copy of the Font Software, to use, study, copy, merge, embed, modify,
redistribute, and sell modified and unmodified copies of the Font
Software, subject to the following conditions:

1) Neither the Font Software nor any of its individual components,
in Original or Modified Versions, may be sold by itself.

2) Original or Modified Versions of the Font Software may be bundled,
redistributed and/or sold with any software, provided that each copy
contains the above copyright notice and this license. These can be
included either as stand-alone text files, human-readable headers or
in the appropriate machine-readable metadata fields within text or
binary files as long as those fields can be easily viewed by the user.

3) No Modified Version of the Font Software may use the Reserved Font
Name(s) unless explicit written permission is granted by the corresponding
Copyright Holder. This restriction only applies to the primary font name as
presented to the users.

4) The name(s) of the Copyright Holder(s) or the Author(s) of the Font
Software shall not be used to promote, endorse or advertise any
Modified Version, except to acknowledge the contribution(s) of the
Copyright Holder(s) and the Author(s) or with their explicit written
permission.

5) The Font Software, modified or unmodified, in part or in whole,
must be distributed entirely under this license, and must not be
distributed under any other license. The requirement for fonts to
remain under this license does not apply to any document created
using the Font Software.

TERMINATION
This license becomes null and void if any of the above conditions are
not met.

DISCLAIMER
THE FONT SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT
OF COPYRIGHT, PATENT, TRADEMARK, OR OTHER RIGHT. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE
COPYRIGHT HOLDER BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES OR OTHER LIABILITY,
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING
FROM, OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE FONT SOFTWARE OR FROM
OTHER DEALINGS IN THE FONT SOFTWARE.
Unity Engine & packages Unity EULA / package licenses Engine / platform

Unity Editor and Runtime, Universal Render Pipeline, Input System, Addressables, and Newtonsoft Json for Unity (MIT) are used under their respective Unity or package licenses. As of Unity 6, the "Made with Unity" splash screen requirement was removed for the Personal tier; it is optional. Exact license text for each Unity package will be reproduced here from the dependency scan before submission, including any Apache-2.0 NOTICE file text a package may require.

Apache-2.0 components Reserved slot — none known yet

Apache-2.0 requires reproducing a component's NOTICE file verbatim, not just the license text. No Apache-2.0 dependency is known to be bundled as of this writing; if the dependency scan finds one, its NOTICE text goes here, in its own entry, separate from the license text.

CC-BY creative assets Reserved slot — none known yet

Creative-Commons-licensed art, audio, or other assets (if any are used) require attribution in the form the licensor specifies, often including a link back to the source. This entry type is reserved for that — it is distinct from a code license entry. No CC-BY asset is known to be bundled as of this writing.

This website uses

Kept separate from the app's list above so the two never get confused.

Fredoka, Nunito, Andika (self-hosted) SIL OFL 1.1 Font

The fonts are self-hosted — served from this site, no third-party font request is made to Google or any other external host. The same SIL OFL 1.1 license text applies whether fonts are served from a CDN or self-hosted. Note: the self-hosting implementation is handled in the site's CSS/asset pipeline, not in this legal page.

No third-party script, stylesheet, analytics tag, or embed is loaded anywhere on this site. See /for-parents and the site's own source for how that no-tracking stance is designed in rather than just claimed.

What doesn't go here

This page never lists song content. No community-sourced UltraStar song file ships in Yodelope — every song is either a public-domain composition with our own recording, or licensed through a proper sync and reprint agreement. A license page listing song files would be a confession, not compliance, so there is nothing of that kind here by design.
